San Andres, Colombia

When we decided to travel to San Andrés we were searching for some relaxed vacations, different from the other trips I made where we wanted to know as much as we could about the culture and the history of the cities, this time we just wanted to relax. Our itineraries were totally flexible, we wanted to go to the beach but also we wanted to enjoy the famous seven colored sea that makes San Andres famous.

The days were perfectly sunny and the tropical weather was nice, so everyday we had different things to do, first we wanted to make a tour through the whole island, that is a really good idea because the people in charge of the tour knows exactly where to take you, the views were beautiful, with the gigantics palm trees, there they took us to the “Hoyo soplador”, a really popular place there, then we visited Johnny Cay Johnny Cay it’s a little island and you can get there by boat, the special thing about this island is that it’s filled with trees, a lot of them! and the sand it’s so white and clean, plus, the sea looks even more colorful there.

And of course the most important thing about San Andreas: The sea. The sea it’s full of every kind of fish, they are just amazing to watch! It looks just like a dream and we can’t forget about the coral barrier, the one that keeps the waves small and makes the sand so white

In terms of food, is an island, so the most typical dish you’ll find is the fish, it’s the signature dish of almost every San Andres original restaurant and there is also the “patacón” fried plantain with some stew on top, I thought it was delicious, but you should try it yourself.
